    I thought that they were less than £300 STG when new? 350% mark-up?

    Shocking pitch indeed, but it's great for working on the leg muscles. None of that namby pamby level stuff down here. Still... Small price to pay for...

    Happy Paddy's Day to one and all, lovely weather for it!
  4. DJ Dangerous
    That's it, Ernie, thank you! I'm pretty sure you were the one who told me about it first time around!
  5. DJ Dangerous
    If I find the website again, I'll let you know!

    I'd love to see videos of the loading and unloading of both. I'm sure that somebody here on the forum gave me the name of a company who have a DVD on sale, featuring the unloading of the Tara's, but by the time I got around to ordering, I had lost the link to order via!

    Awesome photos! Where are the containers actually loaded onto the flats?

    Blasphemy!!! Being serious, though, haven't all eighteen of them been heavily rebuilt over the last decade anyhow? If so, they're probably more akin to twenty year olds rather than fifty year olds.

    Christmas lights like this?
  10. DJ Dangerous
    And no Tin Vans!

    How come some of your white / ivory Bubbles have light grey chassis like the Orange ones?
  12. DJ Dangerous
    Lovely photo, and a trip to the Wicklow Mountains would really crown my visit well.
  13. DJ Dangerous
    Were some of your Bubble chassis donated by selfless orange Bubbles?
  14. DJ Dangerous
    Well, for a couple of hours, maybe!

    I have to visit Ireland some day and skulk around there for a while!

    Savage, what did Fran say yesterday? If we ask for it now, we'll have it in 2024? Or was I just seeing what I want to see?

    Yeah, imagine buying HO Gauge Lima coaches to repaint and haul with those locos. Oh, wait... Being serious though, HO Gauge track is the same as OO Gauge, so I can't imagine any benefits in re-tooling anything. So, when are you guys releasing the O Gauge 141's?

    Maybe re-title this thread and post regular updates here so... Definitely have one devoted fan here at least!

    So much awesomeness crammed into so little space... Five 071's in one photo! Do you go there every Friday?
  20. DJ Dangerous
    They've probably had them in stock the last 12 months, just holding them back to troll you and @Noel...

    Not looking for any Tin Vans???

    I think that @Bumble_Bee is referring more to FB pages than FB groups. FB Groups are almost like internet fora, whereas FB pages are like owner-operated websites with a lot less user interaction. The main reason to have a page is for promotion, not so much for discussion, but building an audience requires work and / or costs money. There needs to be an incentive to do so. I can only assume that Bumble would be on there several times a day, publishing information, articles etc, and investing a couple of hours in sharing these in order to boost popularity.

    Just to note, Facebook for example, doesn't seem to show an independent Irish model railway page high up in the search results, so there is definitely an opening to create one. Facebook opens up access to a much much wider audience than the website ever will - Facebook is almost like a giant closed version of the internet. However, the flip side is that unless you're prepared to put in a lot of work in manually sharing posts (trust me, I know how much work it takes with sharing posts about rehoming animals), or prepared to pay to have Facebook share your posts, there will be no visibility. What is your plan regarding the Facebook page, long term? What sort of audience figures do you expect over what time intervals, and what will you do to reach those goals?

    I suspect that as @murphaph says, the visual aspect of the parcel plays a role. If it looks like a birthday present, and doesn't set off any detectors, then it's probably gonna pass through no problem... I hope to test this theory very soon with a few IRM buses. Two other factors will be the shippig agent, and how well-prepared the arrival destination is. Here in Las Canarias, they started preparing customs etc for BrExit in 2016, put everything into place, so nothing really changed in January, other than they actually started applying the charges. If something is shipped via Correos / An Post / Royal Mail, it's likely to fly under the cistoms radar due to the volume of parcels these entities deal with, and declaration is then left up to the recipient. If something is shipped va GLS, or Muppets like DHL, they are bored, have nothing to do because tey're terrible and nobody wants to use them, and they are guaranteed to charge fees.

    Ah, @BosKonay. The kids of today have an attention span of about five seconds. Fora are too difficult for them, social networking is where it's at.
